Reaction Steps

In a similar manner 1.09 grams (0.0105 mole) of serine, 1.76 grams (0.02 mole) of lithium bromide, 2.02 grams (0.0118 mole) of benzyl bromide and 16 grams of N-methylpyrrolidinone were stirred together at 25° C. for 16 hours and at 50° C. for 3 hours to obtain the desired benzyl α-amino-β-hydroxypropionate product. High pressure liquid chromatographic assay indicated a 86 percent yield of the desired product.
